Letters of Testamentary, also called Letters of Administration or Letters of Representation, is a document issued by the probate court. The document grants the authority to an estate administrator, executor or personal representative to manage the deceased taxpayer's affairs and estate.

If a decedent dies intestate (without a will), the court will usually appoint someone to administer the estate — this will typically be a spouse or next of kin. The administrator will be issued what's known as a letter of administration. This gives them the same legal authority granted by a letter of testamentary.
A letter of instruction isn't legally binding, like your will. Instead, you use it to explain the choices you made in your will, share your funeral wishes, and offer final messages of comfort to the people who mean the most to you.
